The following is a list of skyscrapers he has helped design[2]:
- Burj Dubai, Dubai, UAE
- United Gulf Bank Building, Manamah, Bahrain
- Rowes Wharf, Boston, Massachusetts
- 10 Fleet Place, London, UK
- AT&T Corporate Center, Chicago, Illinois

Smith began his career at the Chicago firm of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, and worked there for several decades. In October 2006 he left the firm to start his own independent practice, Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, with another former SOM architect, Gordon Gill[3]. The Trump Tower, Chicago and Burj Dubai are still under construction and Smith continues to be involved in those projects.
